This judge is the most bias judge towards Fathers, He is a very evil judge and time will tell the tale when he is arrested.
Further, There has been a $600,000.00 reward offered for any credible information that will further an investigation that will lead to his arrest, conviction & de-benching.

Judge O'Donnell is a very bias judge against Fathers, (redacted by editor), Palmer seems to spend a lot of time in O'Donnell's courtroom (redacted by Ed), I don't know if cases are talked about while on there back porches facing the water while having a cocktail , but seems kind of unethical to me. Word has it there has been a Eye in the sky watching him since 1997 , I would love to see the footage, I hear they even saw the contractors putting up his new railing on the porch and the eye could read the US Dime date that was placed on the upright to test the Eye, Boy what technology brings today. I wonder if they could have been recording all the conversations ? I hear now that certain agencies have devices that can see right thru walls , even in the dark, its some type of ultraviolet imaging, Wow , Can't wait to see what's going on. If some agency is doing this, are all his phones being tapped, maybe even (redacted by Ed.). The next question is when will the shoe drop ? I guess time will tell the tale.

His work ethic makes the two toed sloth seem like a dynamo by comparison. If he actually deigns to hear arguments you will find him unfamiliar with your case and the applicable law. But that doesn't matter because his decisions are usually based on the status of the parties and not the merits.

Justice John F. O'Donnell of Buffalo, NY is the most biased judge towards fathers in matrimonial matters. He has done everything in his power to keep fathers away from their children. He is anti-father and will be removed in 2009 when election time comes around, hopefully.
